Lochte is the author of a ton of great crime novels, including Sleeeping Dog (1985), which features mismatched sleuths Leo Bloodworth & Serendipity Dahlquist, which was nominated for an Edgar, won the Nero Wolfe award and was named one of "the 100 Favorite Mysteries of the Century" by the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association. He also wrote Blue Bayou (1992) and The Neon Smile (1995), featuring New Orleans private eye Terry Manion. He is currently the co-author with the Today Show's Al Roker of a series of popular mysteries, and has also co-authored four popular crime novels with attorney Christopher Darden, written screenplays for such actors as Jodie Foster, Martin Sheen and Roger Moore and knows more about crime and detective movies than anyone on the planet.
